Guest Evelyn Posted August 16, 2012 at 07:33 PM Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 at 07:33 PM Our association has by-laws and standing rules. The by-laws can only be amended at our quarterly meetings. The standing rules can be done at any meeting. If the by-laws state that No pets are allowed and someone makes a standing rule that Pets under 20lbs will be aldlowedc- is this ok? Everyone voted yes but since it conflicts with the by-law- wouldn't we have to do a bylaw change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See RONR p111 1)And, Evelyn, any such motion that is adopted is null and void. See RONR (11th ed.), p. 343, p. 14 - 17.It is never too late to raise a Point of Order concerning this. See RONR (11th ed.), p. 251, ll. 3 - 26. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
